HC Deb 08 July 1948 vol 453 cc554-5
9. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the fact that the builders of Nottingham have offered to build 1,000 houses for sale at £1,300 each, when he proposes to issue the licences.

Mr. Bevan

The decision on applications for licences is a matter for the local authority under the terms of Circular 108/48, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.

Sir W. Smithers

But is not the local authority subject to the decision of the Minister of Health; and is not the Minister of Health deliberately trying to create conditions in which Communism can flourish?

Mr. Speaker

That is an insinuation and not a Question.
